Today the May addition of 4-4-2 magazine is out and the Football League Top 50 players is announced: 2nd = Lallana 3rd = Lambert 12th = Sharp 27th = Guly Whittingham pipped our boys to this one. Any thoughts. No Jos, which surprised me, or Morgan.
Jos is a bit of a surprise but no surprise to me in the midfield area were actually not that good in the middle of the park.
I'm not sure when they decide such lists. But I'm guessing they look at players statistics over the season...? Unless they are just going by other media hype or something equally as unrepresentative. But surely Fox and Richardson should be on there, we have (despite the recent goals conceded) one of the best defences in the league and both Fox and Richardson are up with the best attacking players for assists. Not surprised Morgan was overlooked. Fairly surprised Jos isn't on the list. Whatever way you look at it Lambert has been the stand out player in the league and should be No 1. At least he got the important award from the Championship Managers which means much more than some football magazine!
Phone her back, as it may not be in the shops yet. Mine comes in the post on subscription (yes, I know I'm too old to get a footy mag delivered really, but my son won't let me have his match magazine) and that is usually aheahd of it getting in the shops.
Unfortunately I think you may be not too far off the mark there. I mean, I like Billy Sharp and I'm glad he's now playing for us rather than one of our rivals but can he really be considered the 12th best player in the Football League...??
Think you've answered your own question there. I'd need to look at the whole list to make a real judgement.
Surely this list will always be a little different to the official awards' placings or it wouldn't be a sales tool for the magazine would it?
I can't say I agree but I am also not surprised that Lallana is above Lambert. Many neutrals have told me that they've been more impressed by Lallana this season, than Lambert.
neutrals will see lambert not scoring and think he has done nothing and that he is shyte, lallana will see the 3 defenders that have left the back door open as they are all keeping an eye on lambert
I'm subscribed too 442 so mine came on ages ago I think, its voted for by fans of other teams and they then tot up the votes in comparison to which league that player is in. So its really a contest of well known names, hence why there are some players in the list that perhaps have not played too well this season.
